Abstract

A new grasshopper species, Melanoplus carharti n. sp. (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae), is described and illustrated from Garfield and Eagle counties, Colorado and is included in the M. artemisiae species group. This is the first occurrence of a grasshopper from the M. artemisiae species group in Colorado. With the addition of this species, the M. artemisiae species group now includes seven species, four from Idaho and one each from Montana, Utah, and Colorado.
